Review of Killer Me

Killer Me (2001)
VERY well done,and not your typical serial killer film. This is very cleansing to the palate.

Premise:" Killer Me is a mysterious, unsettling film that gets inside your head with a gritty, first person feel recalling low-budget shockers like Peter Bogdonovich's Targets and Michael Powell's Peeping Tom. "

This film is a refreshing change to the popularly done serial killer films. What you see is what you get. It's not in your face, it's not forced, it is a nice, refreshing travel through a serial killers day to day life.

Joe is a serial killer that is triggered by violence. Living in a not so nice area makes Joe's killing sprees an avid event. But what is different about this film, is that Joe HAS a conscious. You get the feeling that he doesn't really like what it is he does. And you just have to like that when he tried to kill a couple of people, Murphy and his laws come into play, and all attempts are ceased.

Anna comes into Joe's life by way of a college class they are in together. Things slowly unfold and he begins to have feelings for her with the "you remind me of my mother" factor.

If you are looking for gore,nudity,or soft porn, don't watch this movie. This movie has taste and class. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed this film on IFC some day. VERY well done,and not your typical serial killer film. This is very cleansing to the palate.
